If BBC thinks they can continue the show success without JC, then go for it. But fact is the show will die off without him.
I don't disagree with what you're saying, but in the grand scheme of it, that's just 1% of their yearly revenue. Don't get me wrong it's still a money maker, I'm just pointing out, financially, it doesn't seem as big of a hit as many believe it to be.
